look much better than segwit2x which I think is just hijack attempt
Since that's literally impossible without someone gaining access to Bitcoin Core's source code and getting rid of all the existing Core devs, it's just an independent project which people can choose whether or not to follow and you're objectively wrong.

Clickbait media is what's stirring this craze for meaningless forks.  There's a lot of hype around forks to the Bitcoin network, and the media (groups such as Cointelegraph) are cashing in on the hype by publicising any utter bullshit that comes their way without any kind of regard for the relevance or necessity of the fork.

Once these forks gain publicity, customers start asking exchanges and online wallet services to give them the new fork at a 1:1 ratio, and then people start trading them because exchanges feel that they have an obligation to their customers (most of which own BTC).

It's a very clever tactic of creating hype and unnecessary trading around something which should be pretty much worthless.  I predict that there will be far more forks over the following year or two.

There's no need to bother unless the fork is similar to Segwitx2. Segwitx2 is claiming to be Bitcoin (with no replay protection) while Bitcoin Gold, Cash, Silver and whatever name they add behind is just another altcoin.

I guess we will see 100 bitcoin clones next year. This is so bad for the mainstream adoption of bitcoin and crypto. I think it will confuse the people that do not know alot about cryptocurrency's. We should not support all these forks, just let them do their thing and don't pay any attention to them. I am sick of these scams.

When I saw this post with no replies I thought it was either a senseless newbie post or a joke.

Too many forks lately, this can only end up with one of them killing bitcoin (I don’t think so) or becoming a bluff just after the fork and collapsing to practically zero. I think there are being more forks now because, although bitcoin cash isn’t nearly as good as bitcoin it has retained a good position in the market but that can’t happen with all the forks.


Same here, when I saw the article I had to step back for a moment and check my calendar. Just in case its an April Fools joke in October. These forks are getting way too much. By 2020 we will have only bitcoin forks in the top 20/coins on coin market cap

I love how these charlatans wrap this forks like they are doing it for the comunity, when the whole time they are doing it for their own benefit. I hope they dont find enough followers for this shit project to survive.

Someone Pleeeeaaassseee stop this madness

Bitcoin Silver Wants to ‘Make Bitcoin Decentralized Again’ Amid More 2x Rejections

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-silver-wants-to-make-bitcoin-decentralized-again-amid-more-2x-rejections

As more cryptocurrency exchanges drop support for SegWit2x, yet another fork may soon grace the industry in the form of Bitcoin Silver.

Coming less than a day after Bitcoin Gold forked from the BTC Blockchain, Bitcoin Silver’s developers wrote on the Bitcointalk forum they intend to “make Bitcoin decentralized again.”

Their description reads:

“...Bitcoin Silver will provide an opportunity for countless new people around the world to participate in the mining process with widely-available consumer hardware that is manufactured and distributed by reputable mainstream corporations.”

While no technical details are currently available, Bitcoin Silver will follow Bitcoin Cash-style distribution methods and be available to BTC private key holders in December. The exact block the fork will occur at remains undetermined.
